Birthday-like Party

One of the my Mother's Day gifts this year was a coupon for a 'Birthday-like Party'. When I asked the boys what they meant by this, they replied it would be a fun party with a theme and games. I promised them when my roses were in full bloom I would cash in the coupon for a 'flower' party. And so I did. I am happy to say the party was a hit and the boys did a great job planning and executing. For favors we made leis from flowers that we drew, scanned and then printed. The boys were very impressed with my flower drawings and declared them the prettiest flowers they had ever seen. Admittedly I was very tickled with their genuine flattery. For treats we made flower shaped rice krispy treats (using a cookie cutter). And finally, for our game we had a hunt to find flower buds (mini marshmallows) hidden around the house. Here are some snaps...
